amputees.
■In order to slide the Velcro strap over the thigh support, first place
the thigh support in the correct position, with the longer end facing

Velcro faces downward and the metal buckle is suspended from the
inside of the thigh.
■Secure the Velcro strap to the thigh support by pulling the narrow
portion of the strap over and then under the thigh support and
fastening it to the Velcro material on the bottom side of the Velcro
strap.

with the long end facing the back of the knee. The thigh supports
can be fitted either on the outside or on the inside of the legs.
